Canada - 50k reward for info about 'Vaulter Bandit'

If he was military, then his buddies would surely recognise him. It's terribly odd that no one recognises him from that really clear picture, and that the police haven't been able to identify him. He likely doesn't have a passport, or an Alberta or Ontario driver's license, nor health card.

Perhaps he is an American who comes to town for "business".
I could tell if I heard his voice.

The " Well-Dressed" bank robber has been arrested.
He shares some facial similarities with " the Vaulter, " wonder if some of the bank jobs were interchangeable?
The Vaulter has a somewhat NFLander type chin, imo. not too unlike this suspect's chin .
Could they be related, or the same guy?

[h=1]Crown wants 15 more years for 'Vaulter Bandit' bank robber[/h]

The 'Vaulter Bandit' is pictured above in this image released by the Toronto Police Service.

Shuman pleaded guilty Wednesday to seven of the 17 armed robberies he is accused of committing.

Crown prosecutor Melissa Montemurro told the court that Shuman was tracked down by police in Geneva, Switzerland in September of 2015 after a fingerprint was recovered from a binder and identified by the FBI.

The forensic evidence also tied Shuman to a series of similar bank robberies in Florida and Tennessee in 1992 and 1993, respectively.

Despite attempts to appeal an extradition order, Shuman was brought back to Canada by officers from Peel and York regions on Feb. 23, 2016.

During today’s proceedings, the court heard an agreed statement of facts that detailed what occurred during each of the seven robberies Shuman has pleaded guilty to.

Prosecutors tell CTV News Toronto that they intend on asking the judge for a 15 year sentence in addition to the two years Shuman has already served.

Shuman is scheduled to attend a sentencing hearing on July 25 in Newmarket.
